About Peyya

Peyya is building the next-generation digital wallet platform for the creators, doers, and builders of the digital economy.

We unify payments, self-sovereign identity, verifiable credentials, and user-owned data into a single platform — enhanced by a personal AI companion — giving users full control and utilization of their money, credentials, and digital footprint.

Peyya eliminates the delivery-versus-payment dilemma by replacing trust with proofs embedded directly into the transaction layer — automating conditional escrow payments, revenue distribution, and secure agreements under full user control.

Where trust causes f*ck-ups, Peyya replaces trust with proof embedded in code.

The Opportunity

Peyya today is a validated vision and a strong foundation — built from years of research, proofs-of-concept, and real-world learnings.
Now we’re looking for a true technical co-founder to shape, build, and own the product journey together with the founder from day one.

This isn’t about joining a startup.
This is about building the startup — from 0–1.

What You'll Do

• Co-create the product vision, technical architecture, and go-to-market strategy.
• Build the MVP — frontend, backend, and blockchain/identity/payment integrations.
• Validate fast, launch simple, and iterate based on real feedback.
• Build structured, scalable, documented systems from day one.
• Design with product, user experience, and scalability in mind.
• Set the foundation for Peyya’s future engineering and technical culture.

Who You Are

• You want a true co-founder role — not just an early employee position.
• You think like a product builder, not just an engineer.
• You can plan, execute, and own independently.
• You move fast, but you never compromise on structure or scalability.
• You believe in user ownership, decentralization, and privacy — always balanced with real-world usability.
• You value transparency, action, and shared success over ego and titles.
